Are you a voice talent? Want to participate in an online drama? Sign up for a part in a podcast recreation of parts of the Dover trial. It should be fun, if you're into that kind of thing.
I'm not volunteering, I'm afraid. I can't act, and I'm also afraid that the closest match to my voice would be Michael Behe, and I'd die of mortification.

Good morning.
I'm afraid to go to the SkepchiCON party tonight because I might get into a conversation with someone and since it will be loud, and we will have to shout to be heard, we will be shouting at each other.
What happens when a little kid is not afraid of heights at all?
What happens when a little kid IS afraid of heights, and all?
This is one manipulative television spot. Although I'm afraid it indulges in some serious scientific hype - stem cell cures for diabetes and Alzheimers remain a distant dream - it effectively humanizes a scientific issue.

That's a great idea!
I doubt any of the Dover characters were squeaky-voiced Brit women, though.
MissPrism:
Not a problem. This is community theater. If William Shatner was allowed to play Richard III, surely you can play a Pennsylvanian.
You could be Tammy Kitzmiller, Aralene Callahan, Julie Smith, Christy Rehm, Beth Eveland, Carol Brown, Barbara Forrest, Jennifer Miller, Bertha Spahr, Cynthia Sneath, Heidi Bernhard-Bubb (journalist), Heather Geesey, Jane Cleaver, Sheila Harkins, Jane Penny (lawyer), one of the court reporters, the court deputy, or the law clerk (one line; no sex specified).
Sounds like fun. I've done a little voice acting, so I might try out for this.
Hello, I got Ken Miller. I'm Catholic, I accept evolution, and I have Cool Edit Pro. That's gonna be some work reading for 2 days, but I'll give it a shot. If someone else wants Ken Miller, I'll do Robert Pennock too.

So I suppose we shouldn't mention that you look like him a bit too?
Aaaargh! I die.
You really ought to see if Wil Wheaton (http://wilwheaton.typepad.com/wwdnbackup/2007/01/the_obligatory_.html) is interested. He's done quite a bit of voice acting and this is a good cause.
I've done a great deal of acting, so I could manage this. My current major (split with graduate work in biology--I know, I'm crazy) is vocal performance, so maybe I should just set it as Dover: The Opera, instead. *grin*
I even have an Equity card.
Don't suppose there were any Scots involved? Nope? Damn :-)
Paul A:
Do you think you could tone down the Scottish accent to where even Americans can understand it (I estimate that to be about 5 Montgomery Scotts = 0.2 Billy Connollys = 0.01 Trainspottings) ? If so, you're welcome to join our merry band.
